At Ease in Your Shell

If I had one piece of advice for those attending ACFW conference this week, it would be to relax and enjoy the experience.

I know. That's easier said than done when you're anticipating sitting across a table from your dream agent or dream editor to pitch your latest work. If you're striving to be the next Francine Rivers or Colleen Coble, you're doomed to fail. But it you're focusing on being the person God created you to be, things are going to be amazing. If you let go of your expectations and let God move, you're going to have a conference that is better than you could have ever imagined.

Let go of your worries and anxiety and ask God to give you an ease in your own skin that only comes from being in Christ.

Yes, yes, yes, I love this, Julie! Love it. A friend and I were talking recently about her hopes for the conference...and we realized soooo much of the conference experience comes down to just allowing yourself to be who you are, who God created you to be...nothing less, nothing more, no imitation or forced personality shifts. :) And you're right...it's easier said than done. But asking God for help is the key, just like you said!
